Condition and element.style...?

Hello

i am trying to have text-decoration applied on some text depending on the value of certain variable. If the value of myvar=0 text-deco =none and if it's 1 then text deco= line-trough...

Kind of the same thing that emails web apps like yahoo or gmail do with mails read or unread if it's unread then email title/subject is bold/strong but if it's read then email title is in normal font-weight...

here is some piece of code i have written to do that

the text on which i want to apply the conditionnal decoration is a table cell (cell2DisplayCell1), the text itself is inserted by the innerHTML instruction!

I tried to introduce the conditional statement with a function displaylinksLineThrough() which is defined in the second block code...

If you insert text with innerHTML, you can't access it right away with getElementById(). The best thing is to build the text with document.createElement() and document.createTextNode(), save the link in a variable and then alter its text decoration.
